Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Henriksen (ranked 843 p4p, 480 weight class) and Axel Stefano (ranked 110 p4p, 58 weight class). Henriksen comes into the arena with OST Vikings - If I Had a Heart blaring out of the sound system. Karl Henriksen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
